Josef Albers

Josef Albers is a German born artist from 1888 up until 1976. He taught art and design at an important art institute in Germany called Bauhaus. In the 1930's he immigrated to the U.S. where he carried out research on color relations and would often write on the back of his painting's what he'd done, how he'd done it and what types of mathematical formula's he used to do it. He was obsessed with quadrilaterals, squares in particular. I am researching him for a page in my Visual Arts book. Check out some of his work here.
